Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

In October in Wei State, the temperature has turned cold, and the earth is covered with the golden yellow and fiery red colors of late autumn.

The residents in Daliang began to get busy. Some went out of the city to work in the fields, and some traded in the market.

After two days, the changes that took place in the Daliang Palace were not only noticed by some spies from various countries in Daliang and the careerists who came from all over to take a chance.

Most ordinary people no longer care about it as much as they did at the beginning, and just treat it as something to talk about after dinner.

"call!"

At this time, in the Wei Palace, Zhao Hongming finished his meditation after a night of practice.

He opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath.

After exhaling this breath of turbid air, he only felt that his whole body was extremely light, and the true meaning flowing around him became purer and thicker.

He stretched out his five fingers, and a white mist of national destiny gathered in his hand, and a palm print one meter wide, like a white wall, rushed forward from his palm.

Everywhere he passed, any tables, chairs or benches turned into nothingness.

Seeing that he was about to hit the wall, Zhao Hongming clasped his fingers together.

The moment before the national destiny, which was as thick as substance, hit the wall, it completely collapsed into the void and disappeared.

[Introduction to Wu Shi Jing (186/1000)]

He glanced at the [Tiandao Rewards Qin] martial arts panel in his sight, and couldn't help but show a satisfied look.

After a night of practice, Wu Shijing's practice progress in this extremely special martial art was further advanced.

At this rate, given another two or three days, he can take this martial arts to the next stage.

By then, he will be even more skillful in using the national destiny.

From now on, as long as he is in the territory of Wei State, he will be able to control the fate of the country at his fingertips, and is no longer simply limited to formations.

Zhao Hongming put away his thoughts and got up from the bed.

At this moment, his whole body was shaken, and the fate of the country changed drastically.

Zhao Hongming hurriedly sat back down and closed his eyes to imagine the bridge between heaven and earth.

I saw that in the imaginary world, among the scrolls of mountains and rivers of the Wei Kingdom floating in the sky, one of the rivers had changed. Somewhere along the river, the fate of the country kept changing, as if it was passing by and becoming dilute.

Zhao Hongming had seen Wei's mountain and river map earlier and recognized that the location where the country's fortunes changed was the Zhuohe River Embankment, about a hundred miles away from Daliang.

The loss of national destiny means that there will be big changes here.

Zhao Hongming almost subconsciously thought of it - break the embankment!
Only when the embankment breaks will it cause such a large-scale change in the national destiny.

If Zhao Hongming remembered correctly, the Wei State sent people to reinforce and maintain the river there every year, but now it was almost winter, and the Zhuo River was about to enter the dry season, and there was absolutely no chance of a natural breach of its banks.

Then I thought of the Huo family's army near Daliang.

I'm afraid someone is going to dig up the embankment and flood the entire army!
Zhao Hongming suddenly ended his meditation, sat up from the bed, and shouted urgently: "Eunuch Gao, get up, I am going to Qianqing Palace to pay homage to my father!"

Gao Yanshi, who heard the call, did not delay and said immediately: "I will prepare now,"

After the forced eviction, the Wei Palace had a dull and solemn atmosphere under the bright and eye-catching wall tiles.

At the entrance of the tall palace of Qianqing Palace stood two mighty guards, wearing steel armor and holding spears, which made the palace more murderous.

The palace is solemn and solemn, with high ceilings on huge wooden pillars, which looks a bit depressing in the dim light.

At this time, many ministers had been summoned by Emperor Jian'an and gathered in the main hall.

Around the minister, there were guards standing. They were holding shields and spears and wearing heavy armor, looking like they were ready.

Emperor Jian'an sat on the dragon throne with an expressionless face, exuding the aura of a ruthless king.

At this time, Feng Dabao, who was standing next to Emperor Jian'an, held an imperial edict and read out the names of the officials one by one: "Tai Zhu Ding Yihui, Lang Zhongling Qu Guangjun, General Wei Tao Xiao..."

After calling out more than ten people at once, Feng Dabao stopped. After a slight pause, he continued to shout: "After investigation, the above officials involved were plotting evil intentions, openly challenging the imperial power, and intending to subvert the country. The evidence is conclusive. Such treasonous behavior, The most heinous crimes must be executed!"

After Emperor Jian'an announced the news, all the officials whose names were called turned pale.

The right minister of Zhongshu, Xiao Boling, and other veteran ministers were the first to stand up and say: "Your Majesty has clarified the world. This is a wise and wise move!"

Immediately after, the other ministers followed closely and shouted: "Your Majesty is famous!"

The official whose name was called burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, I am unjust. I was forced to do so by the Huo family!"

"My humble minister is wronged!"

"..."

Emperor Jian'an remained unmoved in the face of everyone's complaints and begging for mercy.

Some officials were completely murderous when they saw Emperor Jian'an. They wanted to rush out of the court by force, and even wanted to attack Emperor Jian'an.

However, before they could take action, they were subdued by the elite guards guarding the hall and killed on the spot.

The hall suddenly smelled of blood, making the already somewhat depressing palace even more depressing.

After disposing of all the ministers on the list, the expression on Emperor Jian'an's face showed a bit of worry. He looked at the ministers and asked: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a heirloom. My dear friends, I would like to confer the title of King Wu." As the Crown Prince, I wonder what you all dear to you think of it?"

Many ministers in the court knew that King Wu had saved him from thousands of miles away, and with the power of great victory, he was left in the palace by Emperor Jian'an. It was only a matter of time before he was crowned prince.

Speaking out at this time is just to go along with the flow instead of actually asking for their opinions.

"His Royal Highness King Wu is a generous man, caring about the country and the people, and has a clear sense of benevolence and righteousness. He is enough to stand up in the world and set an example. It is a blessing for the country to establish a prince."

"Everything His Highness King Wu does must be based on moral standards. Do not do anything that is not etiquette, do not do anything that is not righteous. Be self-denial and serve the public. Be cautious in your words and deeds. If you are benevolent and righteous, you will be able to keep your career and carry forward the legacy of your ancestors."

"Wei Chen also thinks so."

Emperor Jian'an nodded and said: "Since I came to the throne, the world has been peaceful. King Wu has grown up and is worthy of being crown prince. Now I will confer King Wu as the crown prince to inherit the ancestral temple and the country. I hope that all officials will assist me."

"I will obey your orders!"

Just then there was a commotion outside the hall.

"Father, I have something urgent to see you!"

Zhao Hongming's majestic figure rolled in from outside the hall, making everyone in the hall feel shocked.

Emperor Jian'an frowned and said, "What's the fuss about?!"

Feng Dabao shouted knowingly: "Prince Xuan enters the palace."

Outside the palace, Zhao Hongming was slightly surprised to see that his title had changed to Prince.

It seems that Emperor Jian'an has declared him the crown prince at this court meeting.

But compared to what might happen next, Zhao Hongming didn't think much about it.

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu asked: "Why does the prince want to see me?"

Zhao Hongming raised his head and said solemnly: "Reporting to my father, I have already heard that someone wants to break the embankment of the Zhuo River, so I came here to report it. The situation is urgent, and I hope my father will make a decision soon."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Even Emperor Jian'an's expression couldn't help but change. He knew that once the Zhuohe River burst, it would lead to the displacement of millions of people.

"Where did the prince get the news?" Zhongshu Youcheng Xiao Boling asked: "Is it true or false?"

Zhao Hongming looked at Zhongshu Youcheng Xiao Boling and said directly: "This matter is known to me through special channels. I am [-]% sure that the news is true."

He learned this news from his perception of changes in the national destiny.Naturally, this matter cannot be discussed in detail with everyone.

The destiny of the country involves many things, and using the destiny of the country to practice has never happened before.

If you say it out loud, it might be shocking and attract a lot of unnecessary attention.

The less trouble, the better.

Xiao Boling, the right minister of Zhongshu, heard this and was very sensible and did not ask any more questions.

They all knew that the Zhao Hongming in front of them was a martial artist in the martial arts realm, which was unusual. No one knew how many tricks he had behind him.

If you think about it carefully, even false news will not harm Wei State.

Winter is coming soon, so it is reasonable to repair the embankment. It is just a matter of troublesome people and setting off earlier.

Zhao Hongming still doesn't know how far in advance the changes in the national destiny are, and everything is done quickly.

He said directly: "Father, the situation is urgent. Please allow your son to take his subordinates to investigate first. If it is a false alarm, it will be fine. But if you find an evil person doing evil, you can let your son kill him in time." , to avoid causing catastrophe.”

Emperor Jian'an knew that his son had always been a bit unusual. After thinking for a moment, he seriously decided: "Okay, this matter was discovered by the prince. It can be left to the prince to make his own decision. Everyone in the court will try their best to cooperate with the prince."

Zhao Hongming was quite surprised. He did not expect that Emperor Jian'an would delegate power so generously.

However, he didn't think much about it. He pondered for a while and said directly: "Father, I heard that Chen Mou and Chen Shangshu are quite experienced in river management. I need Chen Shangshu's help."

"Where is Chen Shangshu?"

"Chen Shangshu is still in the prison at this time."

Emperor Jian'an said: "According to my decree, Chen Shangshu has done meritorious service in supporting the royal family. He will be immediately acquitted and follow King Wu to regulate the river."

Feng Dabao immediately took the order.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Hongming didn't waste any more time. After apologizing, he left the court and went straight to the prison.

Chen Mou, who had been imprisoned in the sky jail for several days, was released at this time.

Chen Mou stood at the door. Already familiar with the dark environment, he suddenly saw the sun, and his eyes were sore and swollen from the stimulation.

He closed his eyes and took a while to adjust.

Chen Mou opened his eyes and found that no one was around to greet him.

He seemed to be released suddenly, and there was something strange about this matter.

He has been in the prison these days and doesn't know much about the outside world.

I don’t know what changes have happened outside.

For a moment, the monk who was also Zhang Er was confused about his sudden acquittal.

Just when he was confused, Chen Mou heard the sound of horse hooves not far away.

From far to near, it came straight towards him.

"Hurry!" Zhao Hongming stopped his horse in front of Chen Mou and shouted: "Chen Shangshu."

"You are...His Royal Highness King Wu..."

Chen Mou had not seen Zhao Hongming's face for many years, and he was a little unsure at this time. It took him a long time to vaguely recognize him.

"Get on the horse and talk as you walk." Zhao Hongming urged.

Behind him, a Wei soldier led a horse forward and put the reins in his hand.

Chen Mou saw that Zhao Hongming was followed by nearly two thousand soldiers, with an evil intention, as if he was planning to do something big.

He knew that his release from prison would be closely related to the person in front of him.

Chen Mou didn't think much about it and mounted his horse in prison uniform.

"Go, drive!"

Zhao Hongming led everyone straight to the nearest Zhuohe River embankment outside Daliang City.

On the way, while walking, he roughly informed Chen Mou of the matter.

When he learned that someone was going to breach the dike, his usually calm face became a little more angry.

"If the levee breaks, how much manpower will be needed to rebuild the levee?" Zhao Hongming asked.

Chen Mou said with a stern expression: "Repairing the Zhuohe River after its embankment burst is a very arduous project that requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. In the past, when the embankment broke, the number of civilians involved reached tens of thousands, and once even The number reaches more than 10 people. Once the embankment breaks, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhao Hongming knew that the management of rivers nowadays has always been a waste of people and money, but he did not expect that it would reach this level. This time he only brought two thousand Wei soldiers out of the palace. If he really wanted to break the dike, this manpower was simply not enough.

"Then if you want to solve this matter with the smallest possibility, you must dare to get there before the levee breaks. Quick, hurry up and rush over."

at the same time.

Huo Zhi led several hundred of his men to the embankment of the Zhuo River.

Standing on the river bank and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent river scene.

The rolling river water pours down from the top of the Western Mountain, like thousands of horses galloping, setting off huge waves and making a rumbling sound that is shocking.

The wide river surface shimmers with golden light under the sunlight, burning like lava on the river bed, presenting a unique scenery.

In the lower reaches of the river, the terrain is gentle, and the Zhuo River is like a golden ribbon, winding and stretching over the vast land, nourishing the fields and villages on both sides.

Huo Zhi knew that soon the villages and fields downstream would be destroyed.

But he couldn't care less.

After killing a dozen local villagers and embankment guards who were in the way, he ordered people to start digging the embankment.

The hundreds of strong warriors he brought over began to work anxiously. They held shovels and pickaxes in their hands and kept digging at the soil.

The river embankment was not blocked, and from time to time there could be heard the chirping of autumn insects and the rustling of leaves in the wind, which made them, who were guilty of thieves, act urgently.

Huo Zhi looked up and around from time to time, for fear that someone would notice.

All actions seemed extremely hasty.

This embankment has been reinforced and compacted by Chen Mou every year. The soil on the embankment is relatively hard, so even though they are all warriors, it is a bit laborious to dig it up.

"Don't dig too wide. You only need to dig a hole three to five feet wide. The river water will naturally make the gap bigger and bigger. Just try to use force in one place."

Huo Zhi saw that everyone's progress was quite slow, so he couldn't help urging.

Over time, a gap appeared artificially in the embankment and continued to extend towards the inland river.

Da da da!
Not far away, there was the sound of horse hooves.

Huo Zhi looked around and was shocked when he felt a pair of men and horses rushing towards where they were.

When Zhao Hongming, Chen Mou and others on horseback saw that someone was digging the embankment, their eyes suddenly spit fire.

Chen Mou even recognized the leader: "It's the eldest son of the Huo family!"

Indeed they are!
Zhao Hongming shouted in a cold voice: "Kill, no one will be spared!"

The two thousand Wei warriors behind him didn't hesitate at all. They looked at Huo Zhi's position like a big dragon, opened his mouth and took a big bite. (End of chapter)
